Uploading a PBIX file using the import API in nodejs

Hi folks,

I am facing issue while uploading a PBIX file from local storage using import API. Code is in nodejs. Please find snipshot below

 

let options = {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
        'authorization': 'Bearer ' + authToken
    },
    body: fs.createReadStream(filePathOnLocal + 'report.pbix'),
    url: `https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/${group_id}/imports?datasetDisplayName=report.pbix&nameConflict=CreateOrOverwrite`
};
const result = await axios.request(options)

 

 

It is giving me error

I had found same code in other post, but not sure why I am facing this issue.

Also for verify if file is correct or not, I have called PBI API directly from Postman with same file and it successfully upload the file on desired group. Only for code it is failing

Issue fixed, from one of the post I come to know that Content-Lenght is required to append in headers.

One more observation, with axios only we have to do these changes. Because I have tried with request library(depricated in nodejs) also and it works fine.

let options:any = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'authorization': 'Bearer ' + authToken
},
data:{
"file":{"value":fs.createReadStream(filePath),"options":{"filename":"report.pbix","contentType":null}},
},
url: url
};
const result = await request(options)
console.log(result)
